Hoppy Easter Eggstravaganza Giveaway

For Easter I'm thrilled to join the giveaway hop!

I will pick 5 winners. Yes FIVE winners!

What's the prize? Each winner will get to pick ONE of the following audiobooks from Audible. (Both are awesome books by a talented narrator.)

Stone Cold Bastards by Jake Bible
Only a rag-tag team of gargoyles stands between humanity and extinction.

Hell has released its ravening horde of demons, leaving most of humanity a puke-spewing, head-spinning mess of possession.

Humanity’s last hope? A team of misfit gargoyles—including a cigar chomping, hard-ass grotesque—come alive and ready for battle during the End of Days. They guard the last cathedral-turned-sanctuary atop a bald knoll in the North Carolina mountains.

Gargoyle protection grudgingly extends to any human who can make it inside the Sanctuary, but the power of the stonecutter blood magic, which protects the sanctuary, may not be enough when a rogue grotesque and his badly-wounded ward arrive.

All the hounds of hell are on their heels. The last Sanctuary is about to fall.

Clan by Realm Lovejoy
Clans are Unity. No variation. No deviation. On Clades, to be a Clan is to be an exact copy. A perfect society cloning themselves to survive, even as the zombielike Frags threaten to overrun them on an unforgiving planet. Clan 1672 (privately known as Twain) was never supposed to survive the Incubation Tank. But he did. Illegally. He is different from the other Clans. A secret that could destroy him. _______ Suitable for ages 16+ The paperback contains illustrations by the author

Midwinter's Eve Giveaway Hop

We are coming into the mid of winter and in some places the snow if flying. The weather is chilling in some areas and we just want to curl up in warm blankets or in front of a fire with some great books. I'm offering two audio books for one winner to help get you through the cold.

This is Midwinter's Eve, but also bringing us into the new year. So, why don't we try something new for the new year?

I'm going to offer (thanks to the narrator and/or author) two (2) audio books FROM Audible.
(Please make sure you have an account at Audible before entering.)

Something Sci Fi romance-y and Fantasy. Sounds like a great combo to me!

Hathor Legacy: Outcast by Deborah A. Bailey
On the planet, Hathor, a powerful group called the Guardians serves as the security force for Novacorp, the corporation that runs Hathor with its ruthless monopoly. Nadira, as one of the most powerful Guardians, is expected to use her intuition and telekinetic powers to keep the capital city safe from thieves and intruders. 

Jonathan Keel, son of a mine CEO on the nearby planet, Astarte, is wealthy, privileged and used to getting what he wants. When his father goes missing after a robbery and explosion at the mine, he defies the authorities and heads to Hathor to search for him and for the robbers. 

Security is on high alert and Nadira is charged with protecting Jon. She rescues him from an vicious attack and discovers that the Guardians have another agenda that has nothing to do with solving the crime.

Jonathan finds evidence of his father's possible involvement, while his attraction to Nadira forces her to confront all she has known about being a Guardian, especially the rule to put duty before her personal feelings. 

Struggling with their growing desires, and chased by company security, Jon and Nadira flee the city. But solving the crime leads them to endure betrayals from the people closest to them, as secrets are revealed that not only link their pasts but also threaten to destroy Jon's family and separate him from Nadira forever.

Heart of the Rose by K.L. Bone
In this sequel to Black Rose, reunite with the captains of the Immortal Guard and witness Mara and Edward at the beginning of their epic love story, which spans more than a millennium of heartache, pain, and undying devotion.

When Edward is sent on a mysterious quest by the ruthless queen, nineteen-year-old Mara—the youngest sub-captain to ever serve the Royal Guard—vowed to await his return, never anticipating decades would pass without word of his fate. The noble captain is taken prisoner by a rival court where he is forced to endure years of brutal torment at the hands of his captors. His life clings to but a single thought—Mara.

Refusing to accept that her love will never return, Mara clutches to a hope which defies the bounds of reason. However as years pass, memories fade from comfort to unbearable grief. As Mara prepares to accept the unimaginable loss, a sinister creature of roses and shadow haunts her dreams. Dreams of blood. Dreams of torment. Dreams of Edward. 

The dark presence lingers, and Mara finds herself trapped in a certainty she fears no other will believe—even those closest to her heart. She must choose between honoring her vows to the immortal courts to which she has sworn her life, or leaving to search for the man who possesses her soul. 

Dive into the beginning of the tale that shapes the most feared, most loved, and most revered captain in the history of the immortal courts.



All sound good. I've read/listened to both and have royally enjoyed them! I hope you will too!

Gratitude Giveaway Hop

I'm not blogging much this month with NaNoWriMo going on. I just can't do two things at once. lol. But I wanted to join this giveaway hop to show my gratitude for all that take the time to stop by the blog. I appreciate all your support and comments. It's great to see such a great community from all over the world come together with a love for books.

Thank you.

I've also received codes for two audio books to giveaway. Sweet! What are they? Well, here they are:

With food on the mind, we can listen to a mystery where food is in the story.

A Fine Fix by Gale Deitch
A Trudie Fine Mystery, book 1
Things couldn’t be better for Trudie Fine and her partner, Zachary Cohen. It’s the first big job for their catering company, A Fine Fix, and everyone who’s anyone in the Washington, D.C. area will be at the Schwartzes’ backyard Mexican fiesta.
With the tables set, the food prepared to perfection, and the Mariachi band sizzling, Trudie is mellow as a Margarita smoothie…until a dead body is discovered floating in the pool.
When Zach is arrested as the prime murder suspect, Trudie sets out to clear him and find the real murderer. Life gets spicier than a jalapeño pepper when she realizes she’s the focus of three men’s affections, including the unnerving detective handling the case. 
Soon, however, Trudie is reaching for her favorite knife, but not to chop vegetables.
Recipes Included!

Or how about escaping into a new fantasy world with honor, love, and torment?

Black Rose by K.L. Bone
Black Rose, book 1
“May the Black Rose protect you in life and avenge you in death.” – Vow of the Black Rose

Six hundred years ago, the Muir Court was wiped from existence, destroyed by an elite group known as the Black Rose Guard. Their Captain, Mara, has a reputation of being a harsh woman who leads the guard with a fierce formality. During her long years, she has known pain, loss, heartache…and one great love.

Edward was the Captain of the Royal Guard of the Ciar Court. He loved her once. However, it was a love that faded the day he met young Liza, the Princess who stole the heart he had once sworn belonged to Mara alone. Liza was also the woman Mara was fated to protect. When the Queen learns of her daughter’s forbidden love for Edward, she devises a series of punishments, torturing Edward while her daughter is forced to watch. In a an act of desperation, Mara takes Liza’s place and looks on helplessly as Edward endures torments which break his body and Mara’s soul.

All of their pain is put aside when Liza is murdered by the rulers of a rival court. Haunted by her failure to protect the Princess and adhering to tradition, Mara takes the vow of the ‘Black Rose.’ It is an ancient oath which compels those under its power to abandon the lives they knew for the sake of a single goal: vengeance. Her quest leads her on a dark path of violence, rage, and bloodshed.

Tormented by a fate they can neither accept nor escape, Black Rose is a tale of retribution, love, and above all, honor—at any cost.

The Harvesting by Melanie Karsak
It's all fun and games until someone ends up undead.

Layla Petrovich has spent her whole life running away from her hometown of Hamletville. Raised by the town's medium, and dubbed the "weird" girl for her fascination with swords, the last thing Layla wants is to go home.

But when she receives a desperate call to return just as a mysterious outbreak sweeps the country, Layla's instincts urge her to go. Good thing, because the dead are rising.

Layla, however, isn't entirely on her own. With her psychic powers growing, surely everything will turn out okay, right?

Not so fast. Just when Layla believes she might survive the apocalypse, a sinister and ancient force rises from the shadows to finish mankind for good.

Because the truth is, we were never alone in this world.

Heir to Kale by K.L Bone
“Fear to the fearless. Hope to the hopeless. Mercy to those who hate you. Death to those who love you.” – Prophesy of the Kalian Twins. 

In the land of Kale there lies a delicate balance between the powerful Temples and the rulers from an ancient, royal bloodline. The Temples are ruled through combat, determined by a series of tournaments. Of these tournament champions, sixty are chosen to become Defendants, an elite team charged with protecting the realm from all enemies. Selection to this team is considered the highest of honours and leadership of the team is decided only once every thirteen years. 

Princesses Mariana and Ameria, twin daughters of two such champions, are taken as children to separate, yet equally powerful Temples. Through years of rigorous training both are educated in the arts of combat, swordplay, and the ancient traditions of the Temple Gods. Both eventually obtain the rank of Kalian Champions with the expectation of one day serving upon the coveted Defendant Team.

Then, not long after their seventeenth birthday, the childless King declares that one of the sisters must succeed him as the future Queen. As the race for the throne begins, the sister’s long standing rivalry intensifies, leading both upon a dangerous path that threatens not only their lives, but the fate of the very kingdom.

Unbeknownst to the twins, this treacherous path to the throne is the elaborate collaboration of an ancient prophecy and two creatures charged by the Gods themselves ensure it comes to pass. As primeval powers awaken, the two sisters must struggle to learn the truth behind the prophesy and search for a way to change their inevitable fate.

Debut Author Giveaway Hop

I'm having fun with these hops. I was thrilled to sign up for the Debut Author Giveaway Hop as I had listened to a new author and enjoyed her stories.

This is for authors who debuted in 2015.

I'm excited to share Carrie L. Wells with you!

The story I'm offering today is At the Heart of the Deep, from Audible.

At the Heart of the Deep

Oceanographer Luke McAllister races to figure out why the ocean depth is changing off Florida's Treasure Coast. But before he and his crew discover what's transforming the deep, he stumbles upon an even greater mystery. Leagues below the waves, he swear he sees...a mermaid?

Anya isn't allowed to get close to humans. But when a golden-haired researcher gets too close to her island, she can't afford to stay away. Together, this unlikely pair will seek to discover what's causing shifts in the ocean floor.

While their new alliance is forbidden, Anya will risk everything to save her beloved ocean. The only problem is she's not sure what's really luring her in - her love of the sea or the tempest Luke has stirred in her heart. Either way, Anya knows that the dangers facing the sea are nothing compared to what will happen to her when her father learns she's broken the merfolks' most sacred law. Can Anya and Luke discover what lurks at the heart of the deep before it's too late?

GIVEAWAY! Splash Into Summer Giveaway Hop

Splash Into Summer is hosted by BookHounds

I haven't joined in one of these in ages. I miss doing them. So, this summer I signed up for two. I'm thrilled to join in a hop that brings amazing books to people.

Why not listen while you are relaxing on the beach or by the pool?

For Splash Into Summer...

I have two (2) audio books up for grab! 

These are through Audible, so if you get Audible, you are eligible.

What are the books? Let me share their covers and descriptions with you. If you are curious they are Urban Fantasy and Fantasy reads. 


Bound By Duty by Stormy Smith
Amelia grew up in a world of half-truths. She knows she's an Elder but has no idea what that means. Her father reminds her daily that she must maintain control but he refuses to explain why. Even worse, she's betrothed to the prince of the Immortals and she doesn't even know his name. 

Finally breaking free to live a few normal years at a community college, the last thing Amelia expects is to find her best friend in a cheeky Southern girl and to fall for a self-assured human who sees her for who she is and not what she'll be.

As she learns more about herself, Amelia realizes the line between love and duty is a thin one. As her power continues to increase exponentially and her questions are slowly answered, Amelia must make the ultimate choice. The question is, will her head or her heart win the battle?

You are currently at stop 222.

This Giveaway will run from May 25th through May 31st.

Winner will be announced June 1st!

So, What do we have here on this hop, you ask...

Well, I purchased and read this book.  And found I really enjoyed it!  Yes, it's a fantasy read, but it went quick for me as I felt drawn into the world that passed by quickly as I was flipping the pages.  Then I had the opportunity to meet this author in person at a convention, twice actually.  I, of course, had him sign my copy of the book.  But then at the second meeting I bought a second copy of the book and had him sign it.  Just for one lucky winner!  So I figured I would give it away here as his second book will be coming out in June, so this is a wonderful way to start the series. :)

Shadow's Son

By Jon Sprunk

In the holy city of Othir, treachery and corruption lurk at the end of every street, just the place for a freelance assassin with no loyalties and few scruples.

Caim makes his living on the edge of a blade, but when a routine job goes south, he is thrust into the middle of an insidious plot. Pitted against crooked lawmen, rival killers, and sorcery from the Other Side, his only allies are Josephine, the socialite daughter of his last victim, and Kit, a guardian spirit no one else can see. But in this fight for his life, Caim only trusts his knives and his instincts, but they won't be enough when his quest for justice leads him from Othir's hazardous back alleys to its shining corridors of power. To unmask a conspiracy at the heart of the empire, he must claim his birthright as the Shadow's Son . . .

I do hope you are having a wonderful time in hopping through all the blogs participating in the Giveaway Hop.

This month I have two books I'm giving away!  Yes TWO!  One is a YA read, and the other is an Adult book.  Of course Adults could very easily enjoy the YA read too. :)

The Giveaways Are:
Young Adult:

Goodreads Synopsis:
Daniel's father has gotten himself killed and left another mess for Daniel to clean up. To save his world from destruction, he must fight off his father's killers while discovering a way to save his world. Time is running out, and Daniel must choose to either walk in his father's footsteps or to reinvent himself into the one to save his world.

This sounds like a fun adventurous read.  I have a copy here to read and review, and an extra copy to give away.


Adult:

I wanted something with a Celtic feel to Giveaway over St. Patricks Day.  So I came up with this book, as it has a great Celtic feel to it.
Goodreads Synopsis:
Some people have the Sight. Genevieve Scelan has the Scent.


They call her "Hound," and with her unique supernatural sense Evie can track nearly anything—lost keys, vanished family heirlooms . . . even missing people. And though she knows to stay out of the magical undercurrent that runs beneath Boston's historic streets, a midnight phone call from a long-vanished lover will destroy the careful boundaries she has drawn. Now, to pay a years-old debt, Evie must venture into the shadowy world that lies between myth and reality, where she will find betrayal, conspiracies, and revelations that will shatter all she believes about herself and the city she claims as home.

When the Hunt is on, the Hound must run . . .

If you are curious about Spiral Hunt, I do have a review up for that one.  I know many are hoping to get around all the wonderful blogs to visit, but if you have time and would like you can check out the review HERE.  I've read the first two books in this series and enjoyed them.  And I have book three here on the shelf eying me up, waiting to be read.

So, How to enter?

Follower Love Giveaway Hop ~ WINNER!

I want to thank I Am A Read Not a Writer for hosting this amazing Hop!  And I want to thank everyone who has stopped by.  And all the wonderful new followers!

I was completely awestruck with the number of people who entered the giveaway, that visited the blog, and are now followers!  Amazing!!!

So, I tried to visit everyone who commented here.  I think I have a few that I still need to get to.  Please bare with me and keep commenting.  If you comment I will make sure to get to your blog and visit, and maybe find you to follow you as well. :)  So, I am grateful for all the visitors!  And hope you all stick around for a while, enjoying what you find here.

There was a total of 111 entries.  And with the help of Random.org the winning number was 21.  I alloted the block of numbers in the order of entries for the amount of entries you had.

And now to announce the winner of Siren's Call by Devyn Quinn...

So what is up for grabs?

I thought since this is in a way a Valentine's Day celebration that I would give away a book I've read that has some romance in it.  

So, I picked Siren's Call.

There are mermaids, magic, romance, and adventure all mixed in to one.

Would you like to read my review to see if its one for you?
